AfterDawn's HIGH.FI news app hits first milestone

AfterDawn launched its first mobile app last year and today we'd like to thank users who have installed it, regularly use it and have provided excellent feedback.

While based in Northern Finland, AfterDawn has staff in a handful of countries and on multiple continents. We all speak English but most of the staff speaks multiple languages, and of course our services are provided in different languages too. One thing we all have in common though is a bit of an addiction to news content, primarily technology-related news, and every day links bounce back and forth across staff, many of which have been collected and added to "read later" lists that always grow longer and never shorten.

It seems natural then that the first time we decided to throw an app into the wild, it was a news app. HIGH.FI automatically pulls news headlines from hundreds of sources on all topics and allows you to very easily customize the type of news you want to see.

We'd like to take this opportunity to express gratitude to those who have installed the app, those who use it every single day and especially those users who have taken the time to provide feedback. That feedback has been the driver behind many improvements to the app, and it's the reason why we have a long list of things we want to do with the app, while keeping it clean, speedy and useful. Thank YOU!

You can download the HIGH.FI app from Google Play or from the Windows Phone Store:
